He was born on 29 March 1809 in Bawtry, West Riding of Yorkshire, the son of Robert Weightman and Mary Gray.
He trained in the offices of Charles Barry and Charles Robert Cockerell. Initially he practised alone in Sheffield from around 1832, but by 1834 he was working with Matthew Ellison Hadfield before entering a formal partnership in 1838 which lasted until 1858, after which he practised alone.
